Wlad Will KO Jousha....Tyson Fury Is On Another Level

[FlatLine]

If you speak to Ola Afolabi he says that Wlad pretty much spars as if it's a real fight (although with headgear), whereas Vitali used to spar lightly just to work on specific things. In other words, Joshua already knows what to expect from Wlad having sparred him several times.

sparring is so different from actual fights though.

Wlad could ko Joshua. Wlad is a huge puncher, more than most people realise. It's just a pity he has no aggressive streak in his style.

If we're being honest Wlad gave the Fury fight away. He didn't come to fight and would rather risk the judges scorecards in his adopted homeland than getting KO'd. A Wlad coming to win and take more risks stops Fury, Fury knew this and ducked the rematch.

I don't think Wlad knows how to take those risks. At a deep level he's programmed not to get into exchanges, which he had to if he was going to take the fight to the taller Fury. Not at all sure the fight would look any different.

But it was close anyway. It's not like Fury landed much of significance over the 12 rounds.

spot on. i dunno what about fury turned wlad into a coward. truly baffling.

[SN!PER]

Joshua is too young, too strong, too hungry.

He's going to blitzkrieg Wladimir's chin.

Fury's height and footwork was making Wlad fall short with his jabs and right hands. Being in range for the opponent's counter is Wlad's worst nightmare. He has less ability in the pocket than Amir Khan, which is saying something.

The second half of Wlad's career has been about avoiding those mid-range exchanges. He hits and holds or he hits and steps back. Hitting and still standing there is something he cannot do.

The guy is just hardwired that way at this point. And for all the things he does well, the heavyweight champion being unwilling to trade to keep his titles is a little pathetic.

i get all of that but why wait til fight night to be inept ? he knew damn well how tall/big fury was. hes seen tape. wlad knows the the prefight drills. there were no secrets.

i dont think a wlad from even 5 years ago breaks a sweat vs fury. fury has yet to impress me (that self uppercut came close).
